Question

I am trying to bind a DataGridView to a List, where MyObject looks like

class MyObject
{
    public string Property1 { get; set; }
    public string Property2 { get; set; }
}

//List<MyObject> objects;
grid.Columns[0].DataPropertyName = "Property1";
grid.DataSource = objects;

I want only one property to be displayed, but instead I get another column added to my DataGridView where the Property2 is also displayed. How can I prevent it from being added?

Answer 1

If you never want that property displayed:

class MyObject
{
    public string Property1 { get; set; }
    [Browsable(false)]
    public string Property2 { get; set; }
}

Otherwise, as already stated – set AutoGenerateColumns to false and add them manually.
